Step Up Plus – you can change the height in addition to the resistance for more intensity; add balance components through the use of medicine balls/sandbags/kettlebells and other upper body upward/outward/forward/rotational movements while balancing on one leg at the highest position.
Double Dynamic Lunge – a forward lunge followed by a back ward lunge without touching the foot down between the movements – after each rep, switch legs; or for an added challenge complete all reps on one side without touching your foot down while standing upright.
Barbell + Sandbag Squats – I like to add weighted sandbags to both sides of a standard barbell squat, it adds some variability and forces engagement of the core to prevent excessive shifting of the sandbags and maintain proper lifting technique.
